I spent entirely too much time trying to parse 'outagelet'.

Maybe this term "outagelet" should be added to list of terms to automatically replace in article titles.
I propose we replace it with "outagelet".
But carefully.
I read "outragelet" which is something else that occasionally happens around here.
yup. It took me literally several minutes before I saw the word "outage" in there for some reason. For some reason the non-word "gelet" overwhelmed my brain so I kept seeing out-a-gelet. Kind of like port-a-potty. Then I migrated to outa-gelet->ou-tage-let->o-utage-let->(I skipped ou-tagel-et because that looked like a german word sandwiched between two french words)->outage-let---eureka, where's my bath tub!
For some reason my brain insists on adding an extra 'l' so it reads as "outlagelet" every time.
